It is important because it breaks down the food eaten by the animals into nutrients which are needed for their bodies to function well. Not only it is important to animals but also to humans. <span>Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.</span>
Animals have centrioles to form spindle fibers during prophase. The centriole divides cells. Plants dont have them because they have microtubules instead. they dont need centrioles. Plants are capable of forming a circular loop of microtubules around the future plane of division prior to prophase called the preprophase band, rather than centrosome. Basically- plants don't need it. They have a different way of cell division.

Answer:
They feed on blood cells and cause a disease called schistosomiasis. The symptoms vary, depending on which parts of the body the worms inhabit, but can include fever, abdominal pain, coughing, diarrhea, and enlargement of the liver and spleen.

Answer:
Explanation:
A. Cancer cells are cancerous because they divide all the time. Normal cells stop dividing once there's enough of them but cancer cells divide when not required as well. Therefore, if Ras is mutated it will always be "on" which means it will activate the pathway which will lead to division of cells i.e. cells divide to multiply their numbers so more cells will be made. Normally, cells only multiply whne there's the growth factor present to activate the whole pathway, but since Ras is mutated it doesnt need the growth factor to activate the pathway, it automatically always activates the pathway even in absence of growth factor.
B. It is highly unlikely that the proposed drug will have a useful effect. This is because mutant Ras protein of this type behaves as though it is constantly "on". Ras acts downstream of the receptor, i.e. first you have the reception of growth factor in receptor, then the ras gets activated. However, the activating mutation makes its effect felt (Ras is activated no matter if there's a growth factor or not), which is why mutant Ras is always active and no longer dependent on the receptor for activation.
Therefore, blocking the ability of the receptor to dimerize and activate Ras will probably not have an effect on cells containing the mutant Ras protein as it does not inhibit the activity of mutated Ras protein.
